Of course I'm going to give Google my health records.  They'll be nice and safe there.

Is there nothing Google doesn't want to know about us?   ':|

interesting.... I'm pretty sure that it might actually be a good service if you live in the US where their health system is for the rich. But then again, would you really want those details on their server? Google government is just a few steps away.

Probably less than we think. Certainly, the bogeyman title is moving from MS to Google these days. :(

Probably not, but I would feel safer with Google having all my personal details than I am with New Labour having tham.  ;D

Don't think Google has enough space to hold all my medical records.  ;)

You have got to be kidding :o    After what I have been through, well it's still going on, having my prescriptions going astray and mis-communications going on between online pharmacies and their store front pharmacies, emails and phone calls to me, to my doctor, plus the faxes, replacing the lost prescriptions, followed with "oh, sorry that's the wrong fax number", but it's the one you emailed me! (3 different fax numbers, one on their website, one they emailed me and the one on their sender details of the packaging that arrived today minus one medication)  :bawl:

So yes, where do I sign up.

I bet google would do a better job. I'd trust them more than our government to have the info correct.. but yeah sounds like online pharmacies are not really the way to go!

First time I've had trouble with them, but it's been one of those weeks. If I were truely a bear, I'd hibernate.
